Opfer, John E.; Kim, Dan; Qin, Jike – Grantee Submission, 2018
In this chapter, we review two approaches for understanding these national differences in math abilities. The first approach attempts to link cross-national differences in educational input to cross-national differences in test scores. A tacit assumption of this approach is that children's performance on tests of mathematics is a direct effect of…
